Customer Reviews

An Excellent Introduction for High Sea Sailing Adventures!

Divided into Storms, Cape Horn, Dangerouse Shores, Polar Waters, and Tragedy, I have found myself sailing along with the characters in these real life events. Tom Lachhass, editor, does an excellent job presenting the selections of the books that reaches the high point of each story. After reading the short versions of these stories, I plan to purchase the actual books so I can find out more about each event.

Faint at Heart Beware!

Educational and Entertaining reading if you plan to conquer any of the words oceans; or if you just want to scare yourself half to death. If you plan on cruising with your wife, don't let her read this. This is not a book for dreamers, unless you want your sailing dreams crushed like a Wavy Lay at the bottom of the "big" bag. The true sailor however, can always learn form others mistakes, and triumphs. Riveting reading for those of us with ADA.
